Seattle Times columnist Danny Westneat shared the story of 82-year-old Johnson. In February, his wife received a notification from their bank that the Social Security Administration (SSA) requested a return for benefits paid out after the supposed death of her husband. She figured it was a scam—as Johnson was alive—but the request was real and $5,201 was pulled from their account. As Westneat detailed, after making multiple calls to SSA, during which Johnson was "put on hold and then eventually disconnected," and securing an appointment that was ultimately rescheduled for next week, "he went to the office on the ninth floor of the Henry Jackson Federal Building downtown," one of several sites across the United States that DOGE wants to shut down. According to the columnist: After waiting for four hours, Johnson admits he jumped the line: "I saw an opening and I kind of rushed up and told them I was listed as dead. That seemed to get their attention. "Once in front of a human, Johnson said he was able to quickly prove he was alive, using his passport and his gift of gab. They pledged to fix his predicament, and on Thursday this past week, the bank called to say it had returned the deducted deposits to his account. As of Friday morning, he hadn't received February or March's benefits payments. msn.com 'Already happening': Outrage as seniors claim Trump is already 'stealing' benefits "DOGE is a disaster of incompetence."

Joachim, While historical evidence suggests that Jesus was a real historical figure, mentioned in Roman records and non-Christian sources such as Josephus, *there is little to no archaeological or historical proof that Moses, as depicted in the Old Testament, ever existed*. So the historical Jesus existed, but the historical Moses never did. Right. You remind me of the atheists who claim that the historical Jesus never existed. Almost every Christian denomination across the world consider both the Old and the New Testament to be canon. Without the Old Testament, Jesus' ministry as described in the New Testament would have no meaning. Either way, you have some nerve to consider yourself more of an authority on scripture than Sharkie and Wharfie. At least both of those leftists confess that they aren't Christians, AFAIK. You, on the other hand, clam to be one. And that makes you a heretic. Tenchusatsu
